Expanding our collaborative ecosystem IHDP’s strengths lie in our collaborative approach and connections across sectors. Throughout the year, we have maintained our active engagement with our patient representatives, formed new partnerships in digital and data innovation and, using a co-design approach, established our Industry Reference Group.
